MANILA, Philippines – While our excitement for long weekend nowadays is not that much due to COVID-19 pandemic, but for some, it means additional rest day. This August 2020, Filipinos will have upcoming two long weekends to enjoy while most of us are forced to stay-at-home.
Proclamation No. 845 declared August 21 (Friday) as a special non-working holiday in commemoration of the death of Ninoy Aquino and August 31 (last Monday of August) as National Heroes' Day.

DOLE pay rules
Private employers are expected to adhere to higher pay rules for employees who work during the holidays.
Employers must observe the following formula in the computation of wages:
For August 21 special non-working holiday:
If the employee did not work, the “no work, no pay” policy shall apply unless there is another company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on special days.
